Seconded, CH – more horses bothering him and an extra increment of pace from the get-go will place a greater strain on his jumping.
Speaking of jumping, could connections pur-leaze draw stumps on Bible Lord as an Aintree proposition now? He doesn’t convince around the place even with a proper jockey on his back, and he’ll do himself a mischief yet.
I’d far rather he plied his trade in points from 2010-11 onwards. 4ft 3ins of birch won’t pose him the same problems as 4ft 10ins-plus, and he’s certainly classy enough to mop up in Opens. Fortunately the penalty value of his Listed chase win two starts ago isn’t too large to exclude him from that sphere.
